Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book primarily illuminates both the benefits as well as drawbacks of fungicides. Over the past few years, a lot of pesticides have been formulated to kill pests, and fungicides are one of these. They are primarily used to kill fungus, and are mostly utilized in medicine industry, agriculture fields in protection of seeds during storage and prevention of the growth of toxin producing fungi. Due to an increase in the importance of agriculture, the production of fungicides is also growing. Also, because of their harmful effects on humans, birds and fishes; the problems related to safety are also becoming a matter of growing concern. This book is a guide on both the harmful and helpful effects of fungicides. It discusses issues like fungicide resistance, mode of action, management fungal pathogens and defense techniques, side effects of fungicides interfering in the endocrine system, collective use of varied fungicides and the importance of GRAS (generally recognized as safe). This book is useful to almost everyone ranging from post graduate students to environmentalists and even factory owners.

Download or read book Soils Plant Growth and Crop Production Volume III written by Willy H. Verheye and published by EOLSS Publications. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soils, Plant Growth and Crop Production is a component of Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty Encyclopedias. Plants, and crops in particular, grow and develop through the uptake of water and nutrients by the root system in soils and their transformation into biomass through processes governed by photosynthesis. The quality and amount of products harvested from this biomass depend largely on the intrinsic properties of the soil, i.e. the moisture and nutrients made available for uptake by the roots. These volumes describe in a synthetic form the impact of the most important soil properties on general agronomy, crop production, cultivation methods, and yields, including the specific management aspects which take away some production constraints. Changes in general agronomy as a result of plant breeding, climatic change and competition between newly introduced crops are discussed. The three volumes with contributions from distinguished experts in the field discusses about soils, plant growth and crop production in several related topics. These volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
